Product Description
Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) is without doubt the most significant guitarist in rock history. His career was short, but to this day no one has taken his place. Hendrix is the great legend of rock guitarists. For the first time ever, this book introduces the complete legendary Mankowitz photo sessions with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the trio founded in 1966 by Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell. Chas Chandler, Hendrix's manager, asked the popular photographer Mankowitz to portray the Experience early in 1967. The young Gered Mankowitz had already made quite a reputation for himself as a photographer capable of tapping right into the personality of the person he portrayed, and his images conveyed that sense profoundly. With these particular sessions, Mankowitz helped create the visual trademarks that the trio came to rely on; he also assisted Hendrix in finding a sublime and exotic image entirely of his own. These pictures show Hendrix to be forceful, confident, yet also sensitive and thoughtful - an exceptional personality at the peak of his growth. Just by using simple black-and-white photography, Mankowitz succeeded in creating the icon that was to become Jimi Hendrix. Altogether, only 96 images were taken during the two sessions, but these really are something. The book is published as a larger-than-usual coffee table book (10.5x14.5" approx.). The print is on premium 200g paper, using duotone printing in FM-raster scan and allowing for excellent image quality. Individually designed coloured book end paper, a coated cover, a decorative slipcase - well, this is a polygraphic gem!
